Your face

I wish to reconstruct
your face
I wish to conjure it
from memory
I wish to invoke your eyes
and summon your hands
I wish for more
than pictures
lodged
somewhere in my mind
I wish for solid proof
that once you existed
as part of me
I wish to recall you
and recommit you to flesh
I wish to compel you
to come back to me
I wish to resolve you
reissue, and remaster you
I wish to enjoin you
entreat you, implore you
I wish to beseech you
to be bones and blood again
